Bevel gears, also known as conical gears, are used for transmission between intersecting shafts. Compared to cylindrical gears, they can change the direction of transmission. The single-stage transmission ratio can reach up to 6, with a maximum of 8. 1. Straight and helical bevel gears are relatively simple to design, manufacture, and install, but they produce more noise and are used for low-speed transmission (<5 m/s); straight bevel gears can transmit power up to 370 kilowatts at a circumferential speed of 5 meters per second. Helical bevel gears operate smoothly and have a higher load capacity, but they are more difficult to manufacture and are less commonly used. 2. Curved bevel gears feature smooth transmission, low noise, and high load capacity, making them suitable for high-speed heavy-load applications.
Bevel gears are also known as
crown gears, bevel gears. They are used for transmission between intersecting shafts. Compared to cylindrical gears, they can change the direction of transmission. The single-stage transmission ratio can reach 6, with a maximum of 8.

2. Curved bevel gears have characteristics such as smooth transmission, low noise, and high load capacity, and are used in high-speed
heavy load. Curved bevel gear transmissions operate smoothly, can transmit power up to 3700 kilowatts, and circumferential speeds can exceed 40 meters/second.
